Sorry, I'm just annoyed at the high ratings all these sites get. I mean if you ask me a 4.6+ site is the kind that comes along maybe once every 6 months, not the kind of site you get a dozen of in a week. A 4.3 should be maybe once a week.

the intrinsic fault in a voting system such as the one present on YTMND is that it gives rise to two conflicting voting styles. The people who vote as if they are the only one doing so, and will therefore give a site exactly the number of stars they think it deserves, and the people who vote knowing they are one among many, and give a site an extreme vote in order to steer the overall rating in the direction of what they believe it actually deserves.

Inversely, there are those who make independent choices based solely on their personal views while there are others who choose to forfeit their independence and allow the will of the greater electorate to determine their choice. What is the virtue of democracy if it not be the expression of desire which comes from within?

in a pure, direct democracy, that method would not only be preferred, but necessary in order to maintain... order. But the governance of YTMND voting is not truly a pure democracy. Everyone is encouraged to voice their opinion on a site, true, but the lynchpin lies in the fact that we do not vote whether a site is "Good" or "Bad." There is a spectrum for the ratings, which, unlike having only 2 choices, doesn't lend itself to a majority-wins scenario.

The community as a whole, therefore, comes to a consensus regarding a particular site's value, and it therefore stands to reason that, when it comes to each person's turn, they should weigh the previous votes, and vote in so much as to tip the scale toward their perceived worth of said site.

I loved it at first... but the stop animation completely ruined it. I hated the smooching part, it just ruined it all. Please get rid of that and leave it all slow motion, where it gave me a seductive feeling... then I will 5 it and possibly favorite it. Please.
